1.1 It is important to remember that these six areas of learning do not work in isolation but are in fact interlinked. Good quality activities will cover more than one area of development. For example, allowing children to access the outdoors will not only support their physical development, but encourage their communication and exploration of their environment. Where a child experiences a delay in one area, it is likely to limit their learning and development in the other five...a child with cerebral palsy who experiences hand-eye coordination difficulties is likely to find completing a puzzle difficult therefore hindering her problem solving, reasoning and numeracy. It is therefore vital that settings recognise each child’s individual needs and plan holistically in order to help children achieve their full potential across the six areas of learning.

Her personality traits among many are that she is loyal, she is devoted, she had an affectionate family upbringing, aspiring, ambitious and she has always been highly motivated. She does what she can to better her family’s life. She is extraverted and she enjoys social interactions and tends to be enthusiastic, verbal, assertive, and active. She told me that she enjoys large social gatherings, such as parties and cooking large meals for her family and friends. She is a nurturer and a caregiver. Her weaknesses are that Maria is very talkative and not a good listener at times. She has no history of any medical issues in her family. Maria believes that the best thing in life is family and that is what she values most.
All through her pregnancy she had no issue with her health. She talks about the early symptoms which include headaches, nausea and lower backaches. In the first three months of her pregnancy, Maria said she slept more often, but it was a restless sleep. She felt sleepier during the day and was having more difficulty sleeping at night than before she was pregnant. She knew that she needed to eat healthy for her and her son, so she made sure that she increased her intake of protein, folic acid, iron and calories. She was twenty six years old when she got...

...“golden candlesticks” represents Parris’ own greed and by extension the corrupted power of the theocracy of Salem. There are continuous references to light and dark within Miller’s play and Hytner draws attention to this particularly when Parris stands in the pulpit announcing excommunication and then turns and smothers the candle light between his fingers. This action although simple has a destructive element as instead of blowing out the light he smothers it viciously, causing the audience to feel a sense of foreboding for what is to come. Finally, Miller’s dialogue is possibly the most important part of the play captured fairly accurately by Hytner. The symbolism of a person’s name is integral to conveying Miller’s idea of the value of a good reputation within the community. When Parris queries Abigail about her affair with Proctor he says, “your name in the village is entirely white, is it not?” to which she replies, “there be no blush about my name, sir.” Abigail’s defensive attitude not only indicates she is lying, but also presents the idea of her innocence being tainted, which is emulated well in the film. Cinematically Hytner uses camera angles at the crucial moment when Proctor is signing his own confession, swapping from a camera angle looking up at his face and his view looking down writing his name. The use of silence here rather than meaningful non-diegetic sound helps to emphasise that this sort of thing actually happened across America during...

1 Orientation to Lifespan Development
A. Life span development- Field of study that examines patterns of growth, change, and stability in behavior that occur throughout the entire lifespan. Scientific study of thinking, behavior, physical, cognitive, social, and personality development.
1. Life span goes from conception to death
2. Life span development focuses on human development and examines growth and change in people
3. Regardless of approach, the theorist takes all developmentalists new development as a continuing process throughout a life span
2. Characterizing Lifespan- The scope of the field or study
A. Physical development- Development involving ways that the enduring characteristics that differentiate one person from another change over the life span
1. Physical development emphasizes how the brain, nervous system, muscles, sensory capabilities, need of food, drink, and sleep affect behavior.
2. Physical development declines during adulthood
B. Cognitive development- Development involving the ways that growth and change in intellectual capabilities influence a person’s behavior

Introduction
Child development is used to refer to the ways in which children and young people grow and change. Development occurs in an order or sequence and as practitioner it is essential I know about these sequences so that the expectations about what a child/young person can do are realistic, appropriate experiences andactivities can be provided, experiences and activities can be offered that lead a child/young person on to the next stage of development and so children/young people’s individual progress can be monitored against the developmental sequence. In this Unit I will show my understanding of children/young people’s development.
All the information within this unit I have found in the supporting teaching and learning in school hand book, sourced from the internet and from my own knowledge.
Learning Outcome 1
Physical development can be broken down into 4 areas: fine motor skills, gross motor skills, general coordination and hand eye coordination. This chart shows the expected physical development of children/young people from 0-19 years of age and includes all the 4 areas of physical development. I have tried to show the order in which the physical development will change within the age group in order, but this will indeed vary from child to child.

DevelopmentalPsychologyDevelopmentalpsychology is a field within psychology that is concerned with describing and understanding how individuals grow and change over their lifetimes (Kuther). It is separated into three developmental levels; physical, social, and cognitive. At different ages all three of these levels are developing in some form or another. Developmentalpsychology can be broken up into three main age groups; infancy, childhood, and adulthood.
Infancy makes up the first year of life. Development is rapid in all three levels during infancy. Physically a baby doubles in height and quadruples in weight during the first year (WGBH Educational Foundation). From birth to six months of age, newborns movements are mostly reflexive ( University of Illinois Board of Trustees). Reflexive movements are those such as rooting, grasping, and Moro reflexes. By four to six months most babies can hold their heads steady, sit with support, and roll over. Around eight to ten months they start to crawl, and by twelve to fourteen months have taken their first steps. They have also usually mastered the grasping technique needed to pick up smaller objects. By two years of age, they can walk up and down stairs, and are more active in this...

DevelopmentalPsychology 3
Pattern of Motor Development in the First Two Years:
Overview:
A Child’s growth and the development of his physical abilities are something truly remarkable to watch. It is important to consider all the abilities that a child must gain to face this world like crawling, holding bottle, rolling and etc. They are basically the development moments of a child that parents can observe the ways in which the child develops skills and grows. When most people recall the stages of their child’s development and growth they contain some good memories of their child’s first step, crawl or roll. Yet most people are unaware of the times when their child picked up its first object or moved objects between hands. However, these are the considerable facts and psychology termed as motor development phases. Motor development contains the actions and stages of development of an infant; this is what going to be illustrated in the give paper. The main aim of the current discussion is to describe the patterns of motor development in accordance with the activities performed by the infant while he is growing.
Considerable Facts:
Initial development of a child results in 2 major skills; Fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Gross motor skills include the movement of larger muscles of body while fine motor skills involve the use of smaller muscles like hands and fingers. Gross motor...

In developmentalpsychology, researchers describe the physical, emotional, and psychological stages of development while relating the specific issues involved in the stages, which can hinder proper development. Developmentalpsychology, also described as human development, is the scientific investigation of methodical psychological modifications that take place in humans in excess of the path of the average life span. Originally concerned with infants and young children, the field has extended to include adolescence, adult development, the aging, and the entire life span. This field of study scrutinizes adjustments across an extensive variety of subjects including motor skills and other psycho-physiological processes; cognitive development involving areas such as moral understanding, problem solving, and conceptual understanding; language acquisition; personality, social, and emotional development; and self-concept and distinctiveness formation. Developmentalpsychology consists of issues such as the extent to which development occurs through the gradual process of accretion of understanding in opposition to stage-like development, or the extent to which a child is born with natural psychological configuration versus learning through experience. Many researchers take...
